full growth

The full Moon in July was given the Native American name of Buck Moon because the antlers of male deer are in full growth mode in July, according to the Royal Observatory.

It can also be used to encourage balanced and full growth, particularly for trailing plants keen to grow long and spindly.

“If you learn a plant is going to grow to five feet, you want to put it in a space that allows for full growth, so you never have to prune it.”

The Old Farmer’s Almanac notes the Buck Moon earned its name because it occurs at a time of the year when a buck’s antlers are “in full growth mode.”
